The Get on the Bus (GOTB) for human rights is a creation of Amnesty International USA Local Group 133 in Somerville, MA. For the past fifteen years, the members of Group 133 have organized 'buses' to New York City every April for an exciting day of activism and human rights! This will be the first time it will also take place in Washington, DC.
